1) The word BEGIN and END can be replaced by a left curly brace and a right
curly brace respectively. For example,

  STRINGTABLE                     STRINGTABLE
  BEGIN                           {
     ....        is the same as     .....
  END                             }

2) You can use the #include directive to include a file. The resource
compiler will first look in the current directory for the included file,
and if it didn't find it there, will search along the directories in your
INCLUDE environment variable.  Example
  #include "foo.h"

3) You can use the #define directive to define simple symbols in terms of
other symbols.  Example
  #define IDMENU  1
  #define IDDLG   999

4) The resource compiler preprocessor only recognizes #include and #define.
You cannot have any other statement in your included files (such as
structure definitions, function declarations, etc).

5) You can put comments in your resource file. Both style of C comments are
recognized.
        // This is a comment
        /* This is also a comment */

6) To get the symbolic identifiers for the style bits, you should include
the file STYLE.H at the beginning of every resource file.
